G C(add9) G C(add9)
G C(add9)
It's killin' me to write the word goodbye,
G C(add9)
I've wadded up and tossed a thousand tries.
G
We both know the reason,
C(add9)
There ain't nothing to explain.
G
But I know that my leavin'
C D
Will spare us both the pain.
Chorus:
Em C Dsus D
(Desiree) I can't hold you any longer.
Em C Dsus D
(Desiree) You love his money more than me.
G Am7
And the taxi's at the gate,
G C
I guess all that's left to say
G C Dsus
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
D C(add9)
'I love you Desiree'.
G C(add9)
G C(add9)
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad,
G C(add9)
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have.
G
And to write this note to you,
C(add9)
Was the hardest thing to do.
G
But not as hard as bein' a poor boy
C D
Who can't afford a girl like you
Chorus x2

G C(add9)G C(add9)
God, I love you Desiree.
G C(add9)
I won't be around for your goodbye.
Love his money more than me
G C(add9)
I won't be around for your goodbye.
G
You love his money more than me.
C(add9)
I won't be around for your goodbye.
G
I was just a fool who couldn't see
I won't be around for your goodbye
C(add9) G
Oh you love his money, you love it more than me.
